NETBEANS-2400 - Advice needed

[Pete Whelpton <pe...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I would very much like to resolve NETBEANS-2400
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2400>.  The long and short
of it is that the version of the Amazon AWS SDK currently in NB doesn't
support the request signing method that newer AWS regions require, so needs
to be updated.

It's frustrating, because the actual Java code changes will be pretty
straightforward.  The tricky part is that the AWS SDK has grown massively,
and is no longer just one .jar, but several, each with their own list of
dependencies.

I'm unsure how best to handle this dependency issue - its fairly complex
and I have tried to describe the problem / my questions as best I can my
latest comment on the Jira ticket.

If any of the NB veterans / gurus could take a look and provide some
insight/guidance/suggestions when they get a moment, that would be greatly
appreciated.


Many thanks,

P

Thanks for the great work!

Here's where you get to lead. :-) What would be your proposal, i.e., what's
the ideal path forward from your point of view? Then, let's do that. :-) Or
at least lets discuss based on your preferred approach as a starting point.
